Toy Bus

Owen Middleton

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a horse-drawn carriage. The image depicts a vividly colored carriage with intricate detailing, pulled by two white horses. The carriage is topped by a driver in bright clothing and has wheels that are prominently oversized. The side of the carriage bears the words "Broadway and _____" partially visible. The horses are dynamic, captured in mid-trot. The overall style suggests a playful or whimsical interpretation, possibly aligning with folk art or primitive artistic influences.
